In a world where siggy is 45m and lukaku is 75m, 50m for rose really isn't a head turner.£50m was the quoted figure which would certainly make me think about it.
Question I suppose it a) what message that sends out to the remaining squad and b) making us look like a selling club again

Perhaps they're simply loaning him for the season?30M arf artf arf that wont even get Levy on the phone, don't these jounos do any research ? ...I know the answer
I understand fully that players will want to progress and earn more what I don't accept is players that signed a year previously expecting more money because the clubs incomes increased. His agent works in the game, his only job is to know the market and the fact he did not account for extra club revenue from the new TV deal when negotiating the players contract is that the clubs fault or his?
I take the point that he shouldn't have signed the contract if he wasn't happy, then again he may have been happy at the time but feels he deserves a pay rise now. The timing is terrible as I originally stated but like I said before, I agree with almost every other sentiment he expressed with the exception of the google comment, thought that was unnecessary.
I think it the offer was ridiculous we might be.
Especially as, being Chelsea and silly money, it would expose Rose's entire motivation as greed and no more.
All that about wanting to go up north, be nearer home etc would be shown up as the BS it is.
We and he would get lots of £££ to prove thats what it was all about.
And then we would replace him, strengthen the team even more, and finish above them just to drive the point home
My point is what makes him feel he needs a pay rise? Champions League? They all had bonuses for that. Number of games played? He would not have hit that mark. Extra TV money? Like I said he would have known that money was coming a year into his deal so should have held out a year ago for more.
I disagree with him because our process has taken us to 2nd in the league twice in two years so there is more evidence to back the claim its working that Rose and his claim.
The google comment is key because its reflective of the way we do things, people he looks at as class that the club has done business for, players that are succeeding could have all been put in the "who are they" class, but it works so regardless of his intent in using the term Google, he was wrong
I really hope we tell them to fudge off and don't come back. No amount of money is worth them getting one over us again. I honestly don't think Levy will even entertain an offer from Chelsea.
As for Rose being shown up for his comments re wanting to play up north, I really don't think we should care about that. It doesn't help us in the slightest if we sell him and lose another key player in the same window just so we can say "look he only went for money and clearly isn't too concerned about what region he plays in".
I suspect that this will blow over in a couple of weeks and he will settle down, regain his place in the side and he will be gone next summer. It would be a big mistake to sell both FB's in one window. It would leave us with just over a fortnight to find a replacement, given how long we can take to sign players it doesn't give us a great deal of time.
And I'm not sold on Luke Shaw as his replacement, I'm sure Poch could do a good job with him but he must be all over the place mentally after Mourinho has done his best to emasculate him.
He signed in Dec, got injured in Jan, and hasnt played since.
What has he done to deserve a pay rise?
